NOVPUB"Hmmm, you’ve improved alot"
In front of the level 5 mage of the golden Griffin clan. A man surrounded by several items of circular objects made flight could be seen. These objects looked like halos and spell circles are the same time, but the feeling from them was quite different.
"Thank you" Yunas accepted his praise. As the old man in front of him focused on breaking through, he focused on improving his control over the formation surrounding the great Palace of eldoria.
"It’s still external power. Power gotten with such methods is bound to fail eventually" with a shake of his head, prylias said to the king Yunas.
He and yunas had fought on several occasions and tied on several occasions, but he knew that if any of their battles was ever on Yunas’s terf he would definitely lose because of the formation down there so he strived to become stronger on his own.
Then he realized that Yuna’s power was but an external help. It would never help him improve hence him going out to Challange him on his own volition.
"Hehe, easy for you to say, you are already a whole level above me. Fighting you with no external help is basically a death wish for me. Stop being a hypocrite and lets get on with it" Yunas sneered. The old bastard was being Despicable, he was trying to put Yunas down for using external help even though he was clearly not his equal.
"Hmmm, fine. May the best man win" after a few minutes of observation, the level 5 warlock stood up reluctantly and faced yunas head to head.
The formation in the Palace of eldoria was nothing to make fun about. This Palace and its formation had stood here for centuries before even the birth of the level 5 mage of miracle.
He had to be very cautious.
On the ground.
"Fucking hell, what Is that sound!!!"
"My earbuds hurts so bad"
"Isn’t that?"
The crowd looked up to the sky In Dismay.
—Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
—Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
—Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds of clashing resounded from the sky . The Sounds so loud that even those outside of duan city could hear it clearly.
"The power of a level 5 mage, versus that of someone who has practices and earned the right to use circle codex. Interesting" in a pavilion deep inside the outter layer of the Palace, a young lady said with an interested glint in her eyes.
She had faith in Yunas as he was her junior in the sky Palace. From a very long time ago, the people of the duan royal family and sky Palace had Been in good terms, with the agreement between them, the royalty would usually send out memebers to practice in sky temple.
And one of those guy was Yunas. He had shown expectational talent during his time there, so with a litte bureaucracy here and there, they were able to "move him up" to become the next king of eldoria.
That was a long time ago and still he pushing forward to not only increase in strength, but to secures their interests.
"Should we step in now?" Next to the lady in blue, the young man whom had fought Leon inside the Palace of eldoria stood.
"Hmm? Would you quit breathing down my neck Yasper? Gosh so troublesome" she responded with a lot of attitude, but something was strange about the way she spoke. It was like her normal demeanour had completely been replaced by someone else’s.
"Okay" Noticing this change, the young man took a step back and looked back at the sky where yunas was fighting.
"HAAA. HAAAA"
Yunas stood opposite pyralis breathing heavily from exhaustion. Half of the halos and circles around his body had been broken and were barely there.
He was bleeding from his nose and had several gashes around his lower abdomen.
The difference between level 4 and level 5 was just too much to breach with external help. Even from something as ancient as the Palace of eldoria.
"Now will you yield?" Prylias said while looking down at Yunas with condescendance. This was the king of this kingdom....with all his influence and power, with all his resources and allies he still lost because he didn’t have one thing.
POWER!!!
the only defining factor in this world.
"It’s not his place to yield old man" right next to Yunas, a lady with an annoyed look appeared from nowhere.
"Ahhh, you finally decided to show yourself" Prylias saw this lady and smiled. He didn’t know exactly who she was, but from her attire, he could infer that she was from the famous sky temple.
The backers of the duan royal family.
"Yes, yes, you caught our attention" the lady said dismissively as if she didn’t want to even participate in this whole thing.
"Well then, let’s proceed with the negotiations" Prylias said with utmost confidence. He knew from the onset that Yunas was no longer the ultimate power In this kingdom and he would have to negotiate with this sky temple sooner or later. But he wasn’t bothered, after all he was a level 5 warlock. He was even stronger this this person from the sky temple.
"And what makes you think we are here to negotiate?" The lady said with a mocking look on jer face.
In the next second several other figures similarly dressed started appearing beside her, and one thing they had in common was that they were all level 4 mages.
This was unheard of....there were 12 of them and 3 were at the peak of level 4, one organisation held this number of level 4 mages? These guys were definitely more powerful than the duan royal family.
Worst thing was, this was probably just the tip of the iceberg. The power of the sky temple was frightening.
"Hehe, who can play that game"
But Prylias was unbothered, with a flip of his hand several figures cloaked in black started appearing right next to him. They weren’t as numerous as the sky temples people, but on their side they had a level 5 warlock.
It was even.
"Hmm, I wonder which power you belong to" the lady from the sky Palace mused.
Just as the sky Palace was exclusively for mages, there were powerful organisations that were strictly for warlocks too. It seemed like the leader of the golden Griffin clans has made a deal too.
"Now we can talk" the lady from sky Palace panned away from the men in black to Prylias and said.
Now they could talk real business.

Outside of duan cities gates.
—gallop
—gallop
—,gallop
A Lone rider could be observed riding out of the gates with full speed. He seemed to be running from something, but no-one really had the time to bother themselves with him.
They were all trying to leave the capital.
The war hadn’t just affected the central City. It went far and wide and spread to everywhere in the city and although most were common low level fights. It drove alot of people out of the city.
"Hmm, good, shes out already" after leaving the immediate surroundings of the city walls, the Lome rider noticed a heavy carrige in the distance with a young lady with white hair helming over it.
"Go!!!" He steered his horse towards her and went over to meet her.
"Hmmm, he’s finally here" Noticing the lone rider approach the carrige the lady with white hair looked over and sighed in relief.
She knew that Leon had gone into the belle of the beast, the royal Palace itself, so she couldn’t help but be worried.
However, seeing him here now gave her relief.
"Really?" From inside the carrige a girl with purple hair stuck her head out of the carrige and saw the figure of the Lome rider stop before their carrige.
"You guys done?" Lifting his hood off, the Lone rider revealed himself to be Leon.
"Naturally," Arian proceeded to pull out two heads from a bag and showed it to Leon.
These heads belonged to Alaric and Lucian.
"Awesome, let’s get going then" Noticing the heads Leon nodded and rode forward.
Arian still wanted Alaric’s head for what he did to her mother so Leon granted her request. When the marquee was at competition he let her lead several faceless men with her father and Half-moon to "rescue" Jade.
Of course that was just a pretence. They were really there to kill Alaric and some other dalriss family members.
"Yipp"
Arian whipped the horse infront of her and followed Leon’s lead slowly fading into the forest infront.
After staying in duan city for a couple of months. They grew in strength and influence, but they never lost sight of what was really their goals and with unwavering determination and presice planning they were able to achieve their goals.
Leon gained 650+ years added to his life span
Arian got revenge against Alaric and slaughtered as many dalriss family members as she could..
